Inspire. Empower. Reframe

Burnout is boring. Let’s talk about building something better.
What’s interesting? Building a business (and a life) that lights you up instead of drains you dry. I don’t believe in endless hustle or watered-down success—what I deliver from the stage are fresh frameworks, honest stories, and practical tools that help women stop following someone else’s playbook and start writing their own. My talks mix candor with humor, strategy with soul, and always leave audiences feeling both seen and fired up to take action.
From running multiple brick-and-mortar businesses to building The Grove, a thriving online collective for women entrepreneurs, I’ve lived every angle of what it takes to grow without burning out.
I’ve spoken on stages and inside communities about worth, alignment, money, and the myths that keep women playing small. Whether it’s a keynote, workshop, or panel, my goal is always the same: give your audience practical tools, unforgettable “aha” moments, and the spark to do things differently.
I’m a multi-passionate entrepreneur, community builder, and coach who’s been rewriting the rules of business for over 20 years.
Signature Talks
Women are too often told to shrink their money goals—or apologize for them. In this talk, I unpack the messy relationship between women, value, and money with humor and straight talk. Your audience will leave with practical tools to price with confidence, claim their worth out loud, and stop playing small when it comes to what they charge.
Charge What You're Worth...Then Add Tax
- A reframed perspective on money and self-worth
- Practical pricing strategies they can implement immediately
- Confidence to ask for (and receive) more without guilt
We don’t just spend money—we spend time, energy, and space too. This signature framework helps audiences see the hidden tradeoffs they’re making every day and gives them permission to realign with what matters most. Attendees walk away with a fresh lens for decision-making that can change the way they show up at work and at home.
The Four Currencies of a Values-Driven Life
- Awareness of the four currencies they’re already “spending”
- Tools to evaluate tradeoffs and make more aligned choices
- Relief in knowing burnout isn’t a personal flaw—it’s often a values mismatch
The rules women inherited about success—work harder, don’t talk about money, keep everyone happy—were never written for us. In this talk, I challenge those outdated narratives and help women create a new playbook rooted in alignment, freedom, and joy. This is equal parts permission slip and action plan for building differently.
Not Your Dad’s Playbook
- Recognition of the “old rules” that are holding them back
- Inspiration to question what they’ve been told about success
- A framework for writing their own rules and goals on their own terms
When women get clear on their values, everything changes—decisions feel easier, priorities make sense, and work feels more energizing than exhausting. This talk is part inspiration, part workshop, and all about helping audiences discover what matters most to them.
Anchor Into Alignment
- A fresh understanding of their personal core values
- Simple exercises to spot misalignment in their daily lives
- Motivation to create change that feels both sustainable and joyful
